First, a little disclaimer: I haven't been following this thread before and 11 pages of text are too much to pan through, so pardon me for posing a question that might have been asked already:

Is it possible to flash the latest HxC firmware on a Gotek that has the Cortex v1.05a firmware on it? If yes, how can one do it? Is it possible to do it via the Cortex itself (I dunno, by having the firmware added to a program ADF replacing Cortex's Selector.adf file or something? It would be much less hassle that way instead of using a serial cable).
